I'm not sure how I've managed to live all these years without really knowing Gustav Klimt's work. Like, really? Why was I depriving myself of such mastery and beauty? I had been familiar with his most famous paintingThe Kiss, but only recently (last night) did I catch a glimpse at his "Judith" that I fell in love.

Here is "Judith". She makes me weak in the knees.

I need to get this tattooed on me STAT.

Judith

I feel like he has been an inspiration to me without me even knowing his work. I love the way he combines illustrative elements with the painting, much like I tend to do.

Danae

He's also a fan of painting beautiful and strange women / femmes fatales.

no way! My art professor showed me klimt because she said my work reminded her of him. Not to say Im on your artistic level...haha, but I still feel special. Youve got talent girl. Hes awesome, seriously consider that tat.
